Note to the medical staff

[xp_friedlander]

So spent the last two days talking with the various crews and also during school to some of the others who work for different organisations. There is going something on. 

One, the scuttlebutt is that it are mutants with the symptoms Jean described, both visible ones or just suspicions. 

Second, and the tale gets weirder here, a crew a the Claremont brought in someone we know is a mutant with those symptoms, he got better and today they brought him in with exactly the same thing. 

Laurie, anything like this in your ER?

I've been doing some digging (teleportation + image inducer = I do what I want) and this isn't isolated. I've found three other hospitals in the area with mutants coming into the ER with similar symptoms and such. SOMETHING is going on.

Yeah, friends have asked if I saw anything like this in Central America, because everyone's first thought is some kind of mutating tropical virus (a la Zika). I'm not an ID specialist, but I'm putting some feelers out and my old hospitals to see what else I can get.

Have teleportation, will travel, if you need!

I'm definitely seeing an increase in cases through the E.R. We've been trying to keep it quiet, there's enough paranoia around mutants as there is without adding 'mysterious symptoms' to the list.

It might be good to keep all the potential causes in mind.

I can test for viral, but we might also need to consider the possibility of an outside contaminant. Perhaps poison or something else people could've come into contact with.

That's gonna be a hell to investigate. If we're gonna do this, we're gonnna need a lot more help.

We'll need to though. We've received orders to take extra barrier precautions when dealing with suspected mutants. Getting the feeling some people higher up would like to put it down to only them being mutants and not look any further.

Sounds like it'd be something up XFI's alley. They can be discrete enough to keep things quiet.

Not surprised, sadly.

[xp_friedlander]

You want to email them or should I?

[xp_phoenix]

Already done :)
